Executive Director of the Bureau of Standards Jamaica, Mr. Velton Gooden.

The Bureau of Standards Jamaica (BSJ) has a new Executive Director.

Dr. Velton Gooden was appointed by the Standards Council of the BSJ, through Chairman, Phillip Armstrong, effective June 01, 2021.

Dr. Gooden has had a long-standing career in the fields of quality assurance and quality management; he brings to the post a wealth of knowledge and experience.  He is a certified food scientist and management consultant.
